Single-Level Living Across from the Park

A quiet street. A greenbelt view. A home that simply feels right.

From the moment you arrive, 1668 Connaught feels settled and welcoming. Tucked along a quiet central street directly across from Thompson Park, this lovingly maintained rancher offers a lifestyle that’s increasingly hard to find—single-level living in a walkable, family-friendly neighbourhood, with green space quite literally at your doorstep. Whether you’re raising a family or looking to downsize without compromise, this home delivers comfort, ease, and everyday livability in equal measure.

Homes that balance location, layout, and thoughtful updates like this rarely last. Here are 9 reasons this one deserves your attention:

Thompson Park View

1. True Rancher Living — Simple, Comfortable, and Timeless

Everything happens on one level, making day-to-day life easier and more intuitive. No stairs. No wasted space. Just a well-laid-out three-bedroom, two-bathroom home that works equally well for young families, downsizers, or anyone prioritizing comfort and accessibility.

2. A Parkside Setting That Elevates Everyday Life

Located directly across from Thompson Park and a greenbelt, this home enjoys a peaceful outlook that’s hard to replicate. A trailhead sits just down the street, while schools and childcare are within walking distance—making this an ideal neighbourhood for families and an equally appealing setting for those seeking calm, connected living close to the city.

Fully Updated Kitchen

3. A Renovated Kitchen Built for Real Life

The kitchen is a true standout. Bright, spacious, and thoughtfully renovated, it features exceptional floor-to-ceiling custom storage, soft-close cabinetry, and smart pullout systems designed to maximize functionality. Stainless steel appliances and a clean, minimalist backsplash keep the look timeless, while abundant space ensures room for everything—from everyday meals to ambitious cooking projects.

A Space For Family

4. Seamless Flow to Dining, Laundry, and Outdoor Living

The kitchen opens naturally to the dining room, which looks out to the backyard—keeping meals and gatherings connected to the outdoors. Just off the other side sits a dedicated laundry area with a full-size Samsung front-loading washer and dryer, crawl space access, and a door leading directly to the back deck. It’s a layout that simply makes sense.

Fully Fenced Yard

5. A Backyard That’s Private, Practical, and Fully Finished

Out back, the yard is fully fenced and thoughtfully upgraded with a new retaining wall and a cedar fence stained to complement the deck. There’s a generous grassy area for play or relaxation, a 281 sq. ft. deck that extends your living space outdoors, and a 103 sq. ft. storage shed—perfect for bikes, tools, and seasonal gear.

Oversized Window Bright Living Room

6. A Bright Living Room That Anchors the Home

The living room is a natural gathering space, filled with light from an oversized window. An updated electric fireplace adds warmth and character, while 2022 improvements—including pot lights, refreshed fixtures, app-controlled baseboards, and seamless vinyl plank flooring—flow seamlessly throughout the home, creating a consistent, modern, and thoughtfully updated aesthetic in every room.

Primary Bedroom

7. A Primary Suite Designed for Comfort

The primary bedroom feels calm and intentional, with two-tone paint divided by wainscoting and a large window overlooking the yard. The four-piece ensuite includes a pedestal sink and a jetted soaker tub—perfect for unwinding after a long day or warming up on chilly winter nights. Two additional bedrooms and a full main bathroom complete the layout.

8. Lovingly Maintained with Meaningful Updates

This is a home that’s been thoughtfully cared for. Updates throughout—including fully redone kitchen, flooring, lighting, baseboards, and living room improvements—enhance both comfort and aesthetics while preserving the home’s warmth. Outside, the backyard features a new fence and retaining wall, and the roof still has half its life remaining under warranty. Move-in ready and meticulously maintained, this home is as practical as it is inviting, with room to personalize over time.

The Perfect Rancher

9. Central Convenience Without the Noise

Despite its quiet setting, 1668 Connaught is exceptionally well connected. Port Coquitlam’s downtown core is just 2 km away, with quick access to transit, shopping, and major routes. Schools, parks, trails, and everyday essentials are all close at hand—making this a location that works for today and holds long-term value.
